Heretaunga College is a secondary school located in Upper Hutt, New Zealand. It is co-educational and has approximately 800 students from Year 9 (3rd form) through to Year 13 (7th Form). The college grounds are a large area with primary access via Ward Street (which runs North-West to South-East) and secondary access via Blockhouse Lane and Fortune Lane. The adjacent Blockhouse is a 1860's relic of the New Zealand land wars (although it never saw action), which is currently managed by the New Zealand Historic Places Trust. The adjacent Fortune Lane was one of the first residential areas in Upper Hutt, but no original buildings remain. A long-running proposal to merge Heretaunga College with nearby Upper Hutt College and their feeder schools Fergusson Intermediate and Maidstone Intermediate which had led to a moratorium on buildings maintenance collapsed in 2007. The only nearby secondary school not included in the proposal was St. Patrick's College, Silverstream. Heretaunga offers a broad range of classes and subjects throughout all year levels. Facilities include a new art suite and technical block along with four specialist computer labs.
